I have a new finish to share. Meet Paroma. Although the quilt was completed in August 2022
(hence the lush green backdrop), I had to sit tight till now.

| Paroma. 56" by 68" |
Paroma is a Fat quarter friendly quilt published in Quilt Patterns - Fun Fat Quarter Quilts for Spring (anniescatalog.com) With 22 FQ projects for just under $10, this is a steal.
Paroma uses 20 FQs and was fun to make.

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for February is pink. Here are my blocks. Linking with Angela's Linky Party.
I am keeping them in deconstructed quarters to allow room for layout flexibility later.
The March challenge for Island Batik is Ambassador's Choice. This means I can make pretty much whatever I want, in whatever size I desire, with whatever fabrics (a few exceptions) I fancy. So what do you think I will make? That blogpost is coming soon.
I will be at Quiltcon on Sunday, 2/26/23. I am looking forward to seeing Mell and Vasudha. If you are going to be there, find me. I am a hugger :-)
Paroma is beautiful, Preeti! I enjoy working from fat quarters, but I also think this could be a fun Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. Congratulations on being published!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Have fun at QuiltCon! I'm excited to be going next year!
ReplyDeleteI would prioritize time with Mari, too. And what a fun photograph to get with her there visiting. Congratulations on the publication!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting Paroma published, Preeti!!
ReplyDeleteWell done! on all fronts...looking forward to 'ambassador's choice'!
ReplyDeletePanorama is so pretty-you have such a wonderful eye for color. And I was thrilled to get you email this morning-I won!
ReplyDeleteOnce again a beautiful quilt, Preeti! You can't beat a star quilt. Your RSC quilt is going to be interesting to piece at the end of the year. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteReally? Anonymous post above? It's ME!!! PS What movie did you & Mari see?
ReplyDeleteWe watched "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". If you like books, or reading, or stories of World War, or romance, or a story where our leading lady must decide between the handsome silent farmer and the rich dashing suave guy, or any combination of those, this is for you :-D
Deletepretty! congrats on being published again - neat quilt would look great in any colors
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love Paroma so much! And the photo taken by Mari was excellent too! How wonderful that you and Mari (on whose blog my iPad has not been letting me comment lately) had such a fun day. Your priorities are spot on! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, congratulations on being published. Your pink blocks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think Star quilts are my all time favorite. Congrats on getting published.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having another quilt pattern published! Paloma is a great design and looks like a fun fat quarter quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love Paroma! What a beauty! I may need to pick up that magazine. Your pink blocks are intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI like your priorities!! haha!!! and the quilt is wonderful - what a fun way to use FQ's!!
ReplyDeleteFriends are always first! Love Paroma and the scrappy block. This is a really fun pattern and great to use with those stacks of FQs!
ReplyDeleteWoop woop for Paroma ;) Beautiful quilt, and it deserves to be published! I totally agree with your priorities ;)) Lovely pink blocks too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, and linking up!
Paroma is a beautiful quilt! I love fat quarter quilts too; they go together so well. And I really like your pink blocks and curious to see how you are going to put them together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Paroma. I do lime that design with the floating stars, that would suit me so the points don't get chopped off.
ReplyDeleteParoma is beautiful, Preeti! Congratulations!! Your scrap challenge blocks are pretty too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, Preeti! It really does sparkle. And it's nice to see the lush green in your photos. Looking forward to seeing what you have chosen to do for your next challenge.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great. How exciting to see it in the magazine. A lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteHi Preeti! Aww, QuiltCon. Give Vasudha an extra {{hug}} for me, please. I know you will have a blast. Paroma is a wonderful finish, and another publication for you. That is so exciting. I'm always a big fan of stars and then using the leftovers for a fun border pushes this piece over the top. Gorgeous. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Such a pretty quilt. Have fun at QuiltCon! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteThat's a winner Preeti! I love it. And your pinks are so much more inspiring then my pink scraps. (maybe I should hit up my fat quarters.... nah!)
ReplyDeleteWho can't fall in love with a star quilt? Another Lovely quilt,Preeti. Congrats!! Your bright pink RSC blocks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt finish. Very cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this quilt and will look for the magazine/pattern to give it a try myself. It was nice meeting you tonight with Nann.
ReplyDeleteParoma is a terrific pattern for so many reasons! Great to showcase a collection of FQ prints, could easily work as a holiday quilt with Christmas fabrics, and a beginner-friendly foray into star quilts since your stars are all floating and there is no danger of cutting off the points. I love it! And now, hmm, you get to make whatever you want for the next Island Batik challenge??? If I got to vote (lucky for you I do not!), I'd have you take that quilt jacket trend and kick it up a notch by making an Island Batik Quilted Bustier! Just think what a sensation you'd make sauntering around QuiltCon 2024... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly the kind of weather I could use about now. Atlanta gave the first taste of spring (almost summer) and now I am back to freezing. Your sparkling quilt is a great view! Hope you two enjoyed your ice creme ;) xo
